History Main / SitComArchNemesis

* Franchise/{{Spider-Man}} and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Human Torch]].

* [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Scrooge McDuck]] has many enemies, but his true nemesis is Flintheart Glomgold. They have a similar background, have similar goals, but very different views on ethics and morality. The two are the richest and second-richest duck in the world at any given time. (with Scrooge almost always holding the number 1 spot)

* ''MrBean'' had his sadistic grudge against that blue Reliant Regal car.

** Later on Cole admits that he doesn't even really have a good reason for hating Max, he's just petty and begrudges Max the fact that he's an overall good guy ''and'' more successful than Cole[[hottip:*:the only hint of anything less than exemplary character on Max's part, in fact, was an inability to see Skull the troll, and this is hinted to be more self-absorption than any legitimate sin on Max's part]]. This admission prompts Max to [[PutOnABus go on walkabout, as the Australians call it]], and he eventually comes back with the grating edges sanded off his personality, and the staff of the magazine grow to think of him as a good friend[[hottip:*:and he can see Skull now, too]].

** Jenna Maroney is no stranger to this trope. Her ''official'' arch-nemesis appears to be JennyMcCarthy, but she's also apparently had a feud with Raven Symone.

* ''{{Blackadder}}'' had an interesting one; it could be argued that Edmund Blackadder ''himself'' was the Sitcom Arch Nemesis for most of the series. Captain Darling in ''Blackadder Goes Forth'' is this trope played straight and the same could apply for Melchett in ''Blackadder II''.
** That's what happens when a show has a VillainProtagonist, Goes Forth arguably excepted.

** It could be argued that Calvin's real nemesis was Rosalyn the baby-sitter, who was the only person Calvin actually seemed to fear.

* Bucky from ''GetFuzzy'' has Fungo, the ferret that lives next door. Much to Bucky's consternation Fungo becomes a good friend to Satchel.
** It's probably safer to say Bucky is Fungo's Sitcom Arch Nemesis, rather than the other way around. Bucky seems to dislike Fungo (and ferrets in general) on the basis that they're too clever by half, and attempts to wage a campaign of harassment against Fungo; Fungo, on the other hand, doesn't really seem to care much about Bucky at all, outside of subverting Bucky's gambits by being too clever by half.

*** This is on odd case however. Yes, Zoidberg could be annoying sometimes but he never offended anyone directly since it was more of a case of WhatAnIdiot. While the others accepted this, Hermes, for some unexplained reason, constantly goes "Bananas" on Zoidberg, even when the latter did nothing.

** Bart has an actual ArchEnemy in Sideshow Bob (who tried to kill Bart and some family members a few times, so not just a Sitcom Arch Nemesis), but apparently is also an enemy of radio personality DrDemento.

** Jumbo almost has this sort of relationship with ''Miura'', of all people.

** After the Cold War (and just before), Russia and America are implied to be this.

* [Steel Legion Commissar] to Commissar Steve in ADayInTheLifeOfACommissar. Basically, whatever Steve has, the Administratum gives [[=SL=] Commissar] a cooler version of it, [[{{Trolling}} seemingly just to piss off Steve]].

* ''[[Manga/ZatchBell Gash Bell]]'''s enemies numbered among them a demon who could brainwash other humans, a giant mindless destruction machine... and a weird-mouthed human who delighted in tormenting him. Somehow, that last one was a challenge he never overcame.

* Wilbur Cobb from ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' apparently had an antagonistic relationship with WalterLantz ("No-account son of a bus driver...") back in the good ol' days.

* The UK version of ''Series/{{The Office|UK}}'' had Tim vs. Gareth. The US version has Michael against Toby and Dwight against Jim; in the former case, Toby looked upon Michael's "rivalry" with a measure of disbelief, and in the latter case, Jim uses it as an excuse to constantly pull pranks on Dwight. A somewhat more straightforward rivalry in the US version was Dwight vs. Andy, first when Andy attempted to usurp Dwight's position as Michael's favorite and later when both got involved in a love triangle with Angela. They have since become fairly good friends.

* The title character has Yanda, whom she instantly hates with a hatey five-year-old hate, but other characters merely find annoying. It doesn't help that Yanda takes a [[ManChild childish glee]] in figuratively (and literally) yanking her pigtails.
* Jumbo almost has this sort of relationship with ''Miura'', of all people.

* The rivalry between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas has this vibe. A&M students seem to identify themselves more as "not Longhorns" than as "Aggies." Maybe a third of the t-shirts, bumper stickers, and other memorabilia sported by Aggies actually don't say "A&M"; they are anti-UT (which they call "t.u." --no caps--because it's just another "Texas university") sloghans and logos (many with biblical references). The A&M fight song, for goodness sakes, is more about insulting UT than building up A&M. Yet UT students don't really think about A&M except when they have sporting matches scheduled--which is not often anymore, given that they are in two different conferences now.

* ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' and his next-door neighbour Ace Dick detest each other for unknown reasons, although at the start of the story he does accidentally blockade PS in his office with a bust of BenStiller. They continue writing insulting notes to each other and pissing on them until PS accidentally orders AD a load of whores, and AD decides it's time to bury the hatchet and [[EnemyMine start working together with PS to get out of the building]].

* In ''MassEffect2'', this is the initial relationship between Joker and [[SpaceshipGirl EDI]] leading them to partake in an EscalatingWar of pranks. Shepard and [[EveryoneCanSeeIt other characters]] joke that they really should just admit their BelligerentSexualTension already.

* [[Manga/{{Yotsuba}} Yotsuba]] has Yanda, whom she instantly hates with a hatey five-year-old hate, but other characters merely find annoying. It doesn't help that Yanda takes a [[ManChild childish glee]] in figuratively yanking her pigtails.
